Two unannounced that I can make out: the print A4 sheet contains liner notes for Candyman and the DVD under The Wild Geese is Fear Eats the Soul, so that's presumably an Arrow Academy release, hopefully in Blu.

Transfer looks a little problematic at times... to say the least. It still seems a decent package overall though, especially after a price drop.

Much of it looks gorgeous (close-ups of faces in particular, of which there are a lot), and the source print (the recent restoration) is clean as a whistle - but yet again, the Italians seem to have added completely unnecessary and unremovable digital "enhancement" to their master. It's especially annoying because I know the transfer supervisor at Arrow's end well, and he's firmly in the "less is more" camp when it comes to digital tweaking - but if the tweaking has already been carried out, there's not a lot he can do.

That said, it's a very substantial advance on the old DVD, and Il Tetto is a major bonus - it's very much in the Shoeshine/Bicycle Thieves/Umberto D. vein, but less heart-tugging because it's about a newly married couple trying to get a permanent roof of their own over their heads, so there are fewer cute children, pensioners and dogs to moisten the eyes. But I suspect the film's comparative neglect is primarily for historical reasons (by 1956, neorealism was on the wane) than for artistic ones, as it's unmistakably a De Sica/Zavattini project through and through.

The Roof is a wonderful film, which makes this a fantastic package. The Australian edition of The Roof was only sparingly subtitled, so I'm hoping this edition is fully subbed, because that would make this the release of the year, thus far.

The Roof is not a minor film by any standards. It's a joy to watch. Moving, funny, and ultimately, a testament to the triumph of the human spirit.
